The headline's ambiguous, but it's a new scheme to help first-time-buyers buy homes rather than new builds. Nvm

    No, it is specifically for new builds, apparently.

    Not really clear why. The scheme involves the government lending some of the money, so I guess they've got some comeback if the house collapses before it's paid off or something.
